That guy looks exactly like someone who would use Comic Sans in a Powerpoint presentation of a Nobel price worthy discovery.
Why does everyone hate Comic Sans? Its my go-to font for making technical illustrations its pretty easy to read.
No hatred involved here. This was supposed to be a light joke referring to the use of Comic Sans in the Higgs boson presentation by CERN scientists (that later led to a Nobel Prize). No matter how you see it, Comic Sans was an unusual choice. I thought is was simply hilarious and I actually hope someone will do it again.
I believe that it’s not even very good at what it’s intended for. There are better comic lettering fonts available now even for free.
But how many are bundled with Windows???
